What to expect

If you want to enjoy an amazing sightseeing tour in the historical centre of Athens and the capital's most famous ancient sights and monuments, your first choice is Athens Happy Train. The Athens Happy Train is a toy-like street train that starts its sightseeing tour from the Constitution Square (also known as "Syntagma") and follows an amazing route through the historical centre of the city, the old neighbourhoods and the hill of Acropolis.

The tour has a 40-minute duration and takes you to Athens's most famous sights and monuments including the Hellenic Parliament, the Museum of Cycladic Art, the War Museum, the Panathenaic Stadium, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, the Lantern of Diogenes, Plaka, etc.

Things to look out for

Hop-on hop-off as you please and see Athens as you please, at your own pace, safely and with comfort. You can hop-off the Athens Happy Train in the Constitution Square, to explore the streets of the oldest neighbourhood of Athens. You can also hop-off near the New Acropolis Museum to visit the Hill of Acropolis, the Parthenon or the Museum. If you like to spend your time there, you can use the same ticket and hop-on any of the next trains for the next 10 hours.

Helpful Tips

Even though the duration of the tour is about 40 minutes, you can easily transform it into a ‘’day trip’’, just by hopping off at the stops you like, explore the monuments of Athens and its Ancient culture, or simply take a break to eat or drink. You can hop on in one of the next trains passing by each stop. All you have to do is ask our driver! The Athens Happy Trains start from Ermou Street every 30 - 40 minutes.

Important Notes

Tickets can be redeemed on board the train. Please have your iVenture Card present. Please call ahead for bookings as there is limited availability, especially during summer (April - October).
